3、s standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification provides general requirements forsolvent cements used in joining acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene(ABS) plastic pipe or fittings to poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)plastic pipe or fittings.1.2 These
4、cements are intended for use in cementing tran-sition joints between ABS and PVC materials in non-pressureapplications only (25 psi (170 kPa) or less).NOTE 1This specification was developed to provide a means forjoining an ABS non-pressure piping system using a solvent-cementedtransition joint, for
5、example, joining ABS building drain to a PVC sewersystem. The intention was not to create a specification for an all purposeABS-PVC solvent cement that would be used for mixing ofABS and PVCpiping materials nor to specify a cement that could generally be used foreither material. Specific cements for
6、 ABS or PVC components should beused (see 1.3).1.3 Solvent cements used for joining PVC pipe and fittingsare specified in Specification D2564. Solvent cements used forjoining ABS pipe and fittings are specified in SpecificationD2235.1.4 Arecommended procedure for joiningABS to PVC pipeand fittings f

17、all not containlumps, macroscopic undissolved particles, or any foreignmatter that will adversely affect the ultimate joint strength orchemical resistance of the cement.4.4 The cement shall show no gelation. It shall show nostratification or separation that cannot be removed by stirringor shaking.4.
18、5 Inert fillers may be added, provided the resulting cementmeets all requirements of this specification.4.6 The solvents used in the formulation of this solventcement shall consist of tetrahydrofuran (THF) in combinationwith cyclohexanone or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), or both.NOTE 2It is recommended
19、 that solvent cements made to this speci-fication not be orange since that color is recommended for use with CPVCsolvent cement under Specification F493.5. Other Requirements5.1 Resin ContentThe PVC resin content shall be 10 %minimum when tested in accordance with 6.1.5.2 DissolutionThe cement shall
20、 be capable of dissolvingan additional 3 weight % of Class 12454-B, PVC compound orthe equivalent PVC resin at 73.4 6 3.6F (23 6 2C) withoutevidence of gelation.5.3 ViscosityThe minimum viscosity at room temperatureshall be 90 cP (90 mPas) when tested in accordance with 6.2.NOTE 3Cements approaching
21、 the minimum viscosity requirement ofthis specification generally are not recommended for noninterference-typefit (where a gap exists between the pipe and fitting socket).5.4 Lap Shear StrengthThe minimum average lap shearstrength when tested in accordance with 6.3.2 shall be 600 psi(4.1 MPa) after
22、a 72-h curing time.5.5 Hydrostatic Burst StrengthThe minimum average hy-drostatic burst strength when tested in accordance with 6.3.3shall be 200 psi (1.4 MPa) after a 72-h curing time.6.

23、1.2 Vacuum Oven.6.1.1.3 Analytical Balance.6.1.1.4 Centrifuge.6.1.2 Procedure:6.1.2.1 Stir the sample thoroughly with a spatula beforeweighing (Note 4). Weight 3.0 6 0.5 g of the sample to thenearest 1 mg into a tared ointment tin. Place the tin into thevacuum oven (Note 5), and heat at 248F (120C)
24、for 45 min+ 15, 0 min. Discard specimens left in for more than 1 h. Thevacuum must be continually in operation to draw off flammablesolvents. Absolute pressure should not exceed 15 mm Hg.Remove the tin from the oven and place in a desiccator untilcooled to room temperature. Weigh the tin and dried s
25、ample tothe nearest 1 mg.NOTE 4This material is usually nonhomogeneous and shall be thor-oughly stirred before weighing. The weighing shall also be accomplishedquickly to avoid loss of solvent by volatilization. Some vacuum ovensrequire a longer period of time than 15 min to reach 120C, even afterpr
26、eheating. It is recommended that the operator watch closely the timerequired to reach 120C and, by manipulation of the heat controlmechanism, minimize the amount of time required to reach 120C whilenot exceeding the required temperature.NOTE 5The use of a vacuum oven is mandatory for drying thespeci
27、men. This oven has neither an exposed heating surface nor an openflame, thus avoiding the danger of flashing. The oven also provides anopen vacuum to exhaust solvent fumes.6.1.2.2 After weighing, dissolve the dried sample in THFand determine quantitatively any inert fillers by means ofcentrifuging.
28、Deduct the weight of the fillers determined fromthe weight of the dried sample prior to calculating the contentof PVC resin in the cement.NOTE 6Dissolve most of the dried sample by adding 15 mL of THFto the sample in the ointment tin and stirring with a glass rod for 15 min.Dissolve the remainder wi
29、th a second addition of 15 mL of THF, followedby a third addition of 5 mL of THF to rinse the ointment tin. Centrifugethe entire volume at 20 000 r/min for 15 min. Discard the supernatantliquid. Add 15 mL of THF to the tube, mix thoroughly, and transfer thetube contents to the ointment tin. Use 2 mL
30、 more of THF to wash downthe tube, and pour into the ointment tin. Evaporate off the THF in thevacuum oven at 248F (120C) for 45 min. Cool in desiccator, weigh thetin to the nearest 1 mg, and calculate the percent of inert filler present inthe cement.6.1.3 CalculationCalculate the percentage of PVC
